| A fierce battle has erupted in Gedo region after Somali army backed by African Union troops have attacked a base belonging to Al shabaab militants, a resident said on Monday. Speaking on the phone to Radio Shabelle, a local resident has confirmed that the allied troops have launched a massive assault on Golweyn village, 35Kms away from Garbaharey city, resulting an hour-long gunfight. Details of the casualties on both warring sides still remain sketchy. Golweyn area lies between Luuq and Garbaharey towns near Kenyan border. Over the past few weeks, Somali military soldiers and their allied AMISOM forces have been launching attacks aimed at the weeding out of Al shabaab fighters out of Gedo region, sources said. |
